| After the death of Romulus, Numa, a Sabine leader, became king of Rome. |
| According to tradition, Numa was the great civil and sacred lawgiver of regnal Rome. |
| The first ancile was supposed to have fallen from heaven in answer to the prayer of Numa Pompilius. |
| Numa raised a temple to Romulus, whom he deified under the name of Quirinus. |
| The peaceful panels with Numa and Pax thus frame the south processional frieze, which includes Augustus with priests and lictors, followed by members of the imperial family. |
| The graybeard behind him is Numa, the lawgiver, and next comes Tullus, the warrior. |
